    OMG! I know better but I'm STILL doing it!!!

    I wouldn't worry too much. As others have said, Florida weather is notoriously unpredictable. Plus, I recently took a course taught by PhD-level meteorologists, and they admitted that nothing beyond the 3-day forecast should be taken seriously. They said a 10-day forecast was mostly a guess...

    Another Re-Hire Status Question... Letting the CP offer expire?

    Sorry to post another one of these threads since it seems like there's a couple going, but I think this one is a little bit unique. My friend and I both applied for the CP for Fall 2010 but ultimately both of us decided not to go. I let Disney know that I wouldn't be participating. You know...

    What's MK Like at 3am!!

    I've never been there when they've had such late EMH, but I hope they do the next time I go! I'm sure it'll be soooo much fun :cool1: Completely off-topic, but I saw in your signature that you're joining the ranks of the Maize and Blue. From a fellow Michigan Wolverine, congratulations! U...

    Lightning strike

    The fact that it's surrounded by warm water and the fact that it's warm enough in Florida even in winter months for storms (and thus lightning too). So, since there are more days/per year when a storm can form in Florida than in any of the other continental states, they get more lightning...

    College COSTS + Disney!!!

    Like Traveliz said, there are none just for college students not doing the CP (which is unfortunate, because I'd really love to go too, lol). You might want to check out the Codes and Rates forum, the Budget Board, and the Disney Promotions and Celebrations forum. All of those are forums that...

    College Advice Badly Needed

    A couple of thoughts. One - especially if a lot of credits don't transfer, you might find it difficult to do the CP and/or study abroad because you might find it's more important to take the classes you need to take to graduate. If you're considering transferring and want to do these things...

    Silly question about scheduling a phone interview...

    So I finally applied, and was invited to call to schedule a phone interview. It's pretty silly, but I have a question about scheduling it. I live in a dorm, and my roommate is... well, a little on the loud side. Thus, it is my definite preference to schedule the phone interview for when she...

    Would you do this??? (Fantasmic related)

    I think it's doable. I think your best bet would be to plan on seeing Fantasmic on the first MK EMH night and plan for a few different scenarios. If you go to DHS to see Fantasmic (bear in mind, you'll have to get there a little early; if Fantasmic starts at 9, for example, don't plan on...

    Jobs at Disney for Journalism major?

    It totally depends on her school, so she would have to check with them. My school, for example, won't count any of them for credit. :sad1: The Corporate Communication class is recommended for credit by the American Council for Education (3 credits, I believe), but that doesn't mean her...

    Jobs at Disney for Journalism major?

    I think you'd have to get a little creative to have any of the roles directly pertain to a journalism major, but I could be wrong. I'd say her best bet is to take one of the communication courses they offer there (there's two that I saw on the web site just now: one is Corporate Communication...

    At What Point Is the Line " too Long to Wait in "??

    You all are so patient, lol. We really won't wait more than 20 minutes (30 for headliners like Soarin', TSM, TT). We just go during slow times, get there early and use FastPasses, and we never feel like we miss anything. :confused3

    Describe your WORST travel companion.

    This thread is too funny :lmao: (although I'm sure none of these stories were funny when they were actually happening!) I notice that a few of these are about ex-wives/ex-girlfriends/etc. It's been a long-running joke in my family that before me or my siblings can get married we have to...

    Too late for Fall 2010?

    I was planning on doing the Fall 2010 CP for a long time, and then things got crazy and the plan changed. Now, though, I'm once again thinking that Fall 2010 would be a good time to go. Because I wasn't planning on doing Fall 2010 when the applications came out, I'm not exactly on top of...

    College program- health insurance and financial aid?

    Online classes is one way. That's probably what I'll do if I do the CP since my school is much the same as yours. You'll have to talk to your health care provider and read the fine print of your aid, but I've heard of people taking classes in the spring/summer and then not taking any while on...

    Ideas for kids' last vacation with Daddy

    This thread made me cry a bit. I can't imagine too many things as heartbreaking as planning anyone's last trip. My thoughts go out to you, your friend, and his family. Trying to get as many pictures as possible sounds like a great idea to me (video too, but I know it can be a lot easier to...

    Line Etiquette

    I imagine the answers to this will end up pretty split. It depends on a lot of factors - the length of the line, where in the line you are, who in your party it is, etc. Your best bet is to avoid this issue and just take care of things like that before you get in line. Really, if you...

    Finally found out why DS doesn't want to go!

    Just thought I'd share - my siblings and I are all teens, and we love WDW. We still go on a regular basis. It bugged one of my sisters a couple trips ago, but once we got there, she realized that there were lots of teenagers there and she didn't stand out. I like to think it's "understood" by...

    CP Question

    Wow, totally missed that, lol. I'm sorry, for some reason I thought you meant you did the CP, were still in school, and wanted to do it again. I don't think you're allowed to apply unless you're in school. You could always take a semester of classes for the sole purpose of doing another CP...

    CP Question

    I know that as long as you're still in school, you can apply for the CP (some people do their first CP the semester after they graduate). I also know that you can do more than one CP. So I think you would be able to do another one after you graduate. I don't think the fact that you were...

    Any other ICPs freaking out?

    I'm not an ICP, or even a CP participant (man, so many of my posts begin this way. I really need to do the CP!). But I can definitely relate to how you must be feeling. One of the reasons I'm still a little on the fence about the CP is the fact that I'll be away from home for such an extended...
